Gripe Porcina!

Swine Flu: If you were wondering, yes, people do freak out about it here. They have been since about the middle of May, when people starting showing up in surgical masks to walk around Albrook Mall. This picture is of a poster that my class made, about the symptoms and stuff of A H1N1. I colored all the little pictures that my friend Max drew.

Another school project was this video of making an electroscope for physics class a week or two ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nMjGwC9C3c

And some more random photos:

Whoa!

Hey! I just thought I should let people know that I am, in fact, alive, though I might be murdered my mosquitoes any moment as I am sitting outside, stealing Wi-Fi from a neighbor's house by sitting on the sidewalk with my laptop. Eating walnuts. Yup.

Iguana of the Day

That's right: when I do my homework I can see iguanas out one window and baby birds out another, and I heard lots of ridiculously loud thunder.

Three Days Old

They're still pretty floppy and strange, and today they are squirmier.

OK, here are the baby birds!

The internet finally woke up and here are the baby birds. I think there are three of them... there were three tiny speckled blue eggs in there just yesterday. I didn't look very closely because the mother bird was, understandably, freaking out and I didn't want to hang around more than necessary to snap a picture, which explains the total lack of framing. :) They're pretty cute for being so ugly, right?
